摘要

Bacteroides and Capnocytophaga species have been implicated as periodontal pathogens. Some of these species possess immunoglobulin A1 (IgA1) proteases that are capable of cleaving the human IgA1 molecule in the hinge region, leaving intact Fc alpha and Fab alpha fragments. The purpose of this study was to characterize this activity. In addition to IgA1 protease activity in already known species, IgA1 protease activity was a feature of Bacteroides buccalis, Bacteroides oralis, Bacteroides veroralis, Bacteroides capillus, and Bacteroides pentosaceus. Results of immunoelectrophoretic and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic analyses suggested that all species cleave the alpha-chain at the same peptide bond, i.e., the prolyl-seryl bond between residues 223 and 224 in the hinge region. The Bacteroides proteases could be classified as thiol proteases, which were at the same time dependent on metal ions, while the Capnocytophaga proteases were metallo enzymes. None of the proteases were inhibited by the physiologic proteases inhibitors alpha 2-macroglobulin and alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor. Investigations with enzyme-neutralizing antibodies raised in rabbits against protease preparations from the respective type strains revealed that, despite otherwise identical characteristics, the IgA1 protease of each Bacteroides species was antigenically distinct. Bacteroides buccae and the two later synonymous species B. capillus and B. pentosaceus produced identical proteases. In contrast, IgA1 proteases from Capnocytophaga ochracea and Capnocytophaga sputigena strains were apparently identical, while Capnocytophaga gingivalis had a protease that differed from those of the other Capnocytophaga species.
